S’more Bars in a Jar

Refreshed!!! That is how I am feeling right now. I have spent the last four mornings from 9am to noon ALONE, without children!!! This is a first for me.

Every summer, I volunteer at our church Breakaway camp (VBS). I love volunteering and being a part of such a fun-filled week for the kids. However, this year I did it a little different. I signed my kids up for two different weeks of camp. The first I volunteered at and then the second camp, happening this week, I didn’t. Dropping them off that first morning, I literally got a rush. I had to refrain myself from skipping all the way back to the car. Three hours all by myself!!! The possibilities were limitless!!!

In the end, I spent most of my mornings cleaning house, doing laundry, and running errands. It may sound a bit boring to some of you but let me tell you, I loved every minute of it. And the best part of all was that at noon, when I picked my three little lovies up, I was ready to be a mom again and enjoy them the rest of the day :)

I made these S’more Bars in a Jar to show my appreciation to the wonderful volunteers who took care of my babies this week. I now have my sanity back.

How I remember those moments. I still love “me time”. I do understand how much fun it is to run errands, by myself. I can listen to what I want, in my car. I can listen to silence, and think. It’s a sense of freedom. These are cute and clever gifts that anyone would appreciate. Hey! I’m glad you’re blogging more. You MUST come to San Francisco– email me at foodiewife@gmail.com because I’d love to know what rate you got at the St. Francis. I almost fainted when they quoted me $504.00 per night. Not!

I JUST finished making these as well!! I am volunteering to help out with a 5K tomorrow and made up a jar of this as part of my donation for goodies for the raffle. So funny to stumble across yours as I just finished putting mine together. Love it & I hope the people we gift them to will love them as well :-)Rachel (teacher-chef) recently posted..Antipasto Skewers
